% pkgs=`pkg_grep_summary -m CATEGORIES games < pkg_summary.txt | sed -n 
's/PKGNAME=//p`
% pkg_add $pkgs

Though pkg_grep_summary is unofficial tool not mentioned in pkgsrc guide
too.

pkg_summary introduced a few years ago gives a lot of benefits and
provides much more things than subdirectories for categories.
